It's starting to be beautiful...

Here is our house! You can see that the undercoat of paint is on. And the balcony is on the way to being completed. Victor's brother, Chi, is doing it all himself. We went with the cheapest way possible (that was still safe) and it's tuned out to look really lovely.
Today the ceiling is going in upstairs, and the bathroom is being tiled.
Slowly but surely we're getting there!
The garden is coming along too. Here is Victor planting our little Christmas tree...

...and our bottlebrush. This photo is taken from the kitchen window.

And this is looking out the front, upstairs window.
